Bridge

Ed,Clicking on the Skim check box is not launching CW Skimmer. I installed the latest version of Skimmer in the default directory. It acts like the SDR-Bridge can't find CW Skimmer. I can start skimmer manually and it connects to DAX but does not appear to be interacting with SDR-Bridge. The stream column only shows the single number. I tried un-installing and re-installing SDR bridge.

Some screen shots below may help determine if I have something setup incorrectly. Let me know if you need any additional info or screens shots.

yes the skim Box will open up Skimmer without having to manually open it. The stream box in SDR-Bridge should show the 96K range (start and stop freq of the DAX channel if SDR Bridge is seeing the IQ Stream

Radio is Softrock and 96K in Radio Tab of Skimmer itself parameters and the Skimmer Audio Tab should point to DAX1 (or whatever channel you want)

I have a place to enter a custom path, but it is not currently wired up. The path that is used internally should be independent of OS. Of course that doesn't mean it is. It uses the environment variable %ProgramFiles(x86)% to get the prefix up to \afreet. If you can't work with that, I will wire up the Settings field and upload a new build to the website.

Ed,Larry and I talked on the phone for a while and the root problem still seems to be that the Bridge does not find CwSkimmer to invoke it when setting the SKIM flag. I think if the Bridge found and invoked skimmer and connected to it, I would be good to go.

My PC is running Win7 and the "Program Files" folder didn't include the (x86) in the name. So I created a new folder as noted above but that didn't help. I'm assuming the Bridge program is hard coded to look for CwSkimmer in a specific location since I didn't see any way to change the location for the APP path in either the Bridge Settings tab or in the .ini files.

Got it... thanks Ed... Trying to capture an occasional error that causes a complete lockup that occurs when starting SDR-Bridge. Havent captured it yet but it involves the initial starting of Skimmer.exe via SDR-Bridge. will send you info as I catch it.

I noticed that SSDR isn't remembering the DAX IQ channel settings either... They have to be selected and adjusted for speed each time starting up. Hopefully Steve will add persistence for these settings in the future release.
